如何使用 sudo 运行 Python 脚本？ （苹果电脑）

Question

I want to test the keyboard.on_press_key() function, but OSX blocks it naturally. When I try to run it through the terminal using sudo python [pathtofile] I get an import error: "ImportError: No module named keyboard". I tried installing the module using sudo ( sudo pip install keyboard ) but, even though it installs just fine, I still get the same error. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

That is a error in your script, you probably didnt import the keyboard module before you used. Try adding this in the first lines of your python script:

 import keyboard

Answer 2

Note that python on macOS refers to the system installation. You should not install packages via pip to the system installation of Python. I'd recommend you to install another Python interpreter eg via brew . See www.brew.sh for more info.

Then, it is just a matter of installing Python via

$ brew install python3

After that, simply install your keyboard package again:

$ pip3 install keyboard
